    Quite the opposite, actually. Consider this:



    We can't tell someone they're doing poorly, because of the fact that if we do, we run the risk of 'getting reported for using a parser.' Rather, because some players have chosen to weaponise this fact, players are unable to help eachother.

    So instead, we get to the point where - instead of trying to help people, we just kick them without a word, because their DPS is too low. We are unable to help them.

    Enabling a parser to be used in a social and casual environment, will enable people to speak up about lower DPS - so long as it is done in a constructive manner. This is because it also protects the one looking at hte numbers from the people who go "You're parsing! Enjoy your ban! Hahhahaha." (Which is a genuine response you will see constantly.)

    Actually, telling someone "You're doing poorly" doesn't make anything. Unless you can tell them how they can do better, then you're not really helping them.
    And since a parser doesn't tell them what they can do better, its utility is also questionable.

    But you don't have to legalize what those people use as harassment.

    Here's a question : If that much people already use a parser, as some people claim, then why do they bother about having an official one ? If it's for personal progression, or to help friends improve, then they can use without fearing a report or a ban, right ?
